Another Bird Shirt and Pants

This fabric for the cami was left over from a shirt I made years ago. That one frayed so much that it ended up in the donation bin. This time, I have a getter understanding of how to finish seams and hems. I used my hacked Ogden Cami pattern and then made a couple more changes to this time around.  Since this fabric was very see-through, I made a full lining this time and used two layers of the bird fabric. Now you can see birds through the top layer, but you don't see my skin. Due to fabric limitations, the lining is about an inch shorter than the cami.

Lining is more birds

The straps are black ribbon. I didn't want to have to try to turn this fabric into narrow straps, so I found an alternative. One strap doesn't lay flat against my body, but I think that has to do with my slightly uneven shoulders.

I still want to raise that back neckline for next time

The trousers are a black stretch twill from Vogue and the Sasha Trouser pattern from True Bias. These are a wearable muslin so unfortunately, they have no pockets. Fortunately, they fit well and I can put pockets in the next pair.

I would wear these with a cardigan or sweater so that I have some pockets

I did make the waist higher for this pattern

Difficult to photograph black fabric

Not wrinkle free and maybe next pair will get a little more room in the seat
